Watercolor painting of a green skinned hag emerging from a swamp with Lilly pads and a rubbery duck around her
Sculpture of a green skinned water hag emerging from swamp
The green lady, the hag, the old woman who haunts the edges between land and murky waters. The dark one who drags you down to the deep. To the heart of the dark lands.
I have a fondness for swamp hags, for green ladies. #mabsdrawlloweenclub

What do you think of AI art vs traditional? 🤔 In a world where it’s getting harder to tell what’s AI and what’s real. I’ve been thinking about what makes art truly special.👩🎨🎨 AI can do a lot of amazing things, but when it comes to art, for me, nothing compares to an artist's touch.

My shop is closed this year, but I'd love to make a thread that people can browse for xmas presents & stocking filler ideas from small shops!
(Best to order asap, they're not Amazon!)
🎁If you're an indie creator or have one to recommend, reply with some of your favourite items & a link to the shop!
Working on smoky effects always feels like a moment of pure meditative relaxation. ✨️

Although I haven't been very active lately, I still appreciate having a feed of artists that inspire me💜 and without ads, people I don't follow and missing the posts I do want to see. Also without censuring (sorry Cara, love you but can't post almost any of my work there). Crossing my fingers🤞

A woman with wavy light blue hair, adorned with many pearls, also forming a tiara. Her eyes have a supernatural appearance, milky and pupil-less, with tears of blood running down. Blood also drips from her lips. She wears an intricate necklace and silver earrings, and her dress features soft, voluminous textures. The background is hazy, with a palette in shades of pink and purple, with an ethereal atmosphere.
Initially inspired by the Childlike Empress from The Neverending Story, one of my favorite books, this piece evolved into something entirely my own through heavy stylization.
I guess I enjoy painting pearls and blood a little too much. ✨
